Assembly Visualization not exporting Virtual Component data

Unread post by dave.laban »

Hopefully I'm missing something obvious. Got an assembly where I want to export the Volume of all individual components so I load up Assembly Visualization tool, pick Volume for column then Save As.

In the AV tool all components are listed (which includes some Virtual Components), however the saved Excel file does not include the VCs.

Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere that would enable the Excel file to include the VCs too? Or some kind of workaround if there isn't?

Turns out I was missing something obvious <()>

I had only been exporting the Top-level parts, I'd completely missed the options presented in the Save window for this, my VCs are in a sub-assembly, so thanks to my VAR for pointing that out.
